Corporations can no longer just worship the bottom line. Consumers and customers want to be associated with brands that align with their values. For business success today, your company needs to tell a compelling story that creates engagement, word-of-mouth and brand loyalty. THE HOOK gives you a proven methodology to create a compelling narrative, then shows you how to share your story with the world and get consumers and customers to listen to and remember your message. More specifically, THE HOOK will teach you how story-selling can be used as an incredibly powerful instrument to: *Create an emotional connection between your organisation and its target market or between a product and consumers. *Generate interest, enthusiasm and support for a person, company or product. *Demonstrate the benefits and potential of any product, service, company or individual. *Create a culture of inclusion for any company or product. *Enhance staff commitment to mission and objectives. *Improve the power, tone and texture of speeches, proposals, presentations and printed materials.
"I read a lot of business books, [but] it has been a while since I found something new and fresh which speaks to me. This one does! So I'm hooked by The Hook."--Terri Alpert, CEO of Uno Alla Votra
